Making decisions is a critical part of every executive's job.
However we know so little about the often subliminal processes that
shape the decisions we make. The Secret Life of Decisions exposes
the unchallenged myths and distortions that impact our reasoning
ability, raising our awareness of the many traps we can fall into.
Meena Thuraisingham and her collaborator, Wolfgang Lehmacher, have
drawn from decades of work with leaders showing that even the most
talented leaders and teams can end up making sub-optimal decisions.
This is rarely because they had poor critical thinking faculties
but rather because they did not pay enough attention to the often
invisible traps hardwired into our thinking processes, letting
through only information that conforms with our current beliefs,
mental models and expectations. This leaves many leaders and
businesses exposed. Rather than being the rational output of our
reasoning abilities, the authors show decision making to be a
highly imprecise process. As decision makers we come to the table
armed with our own perspectives, preferences, filters, heuristics
and biases, influenced by a broad range of social influences many
operating subliminally. The Secret Life of Decisions is an
essential read for developing and seasoned executives who have to
work through increasingly complex and high stakes decisions. It
treats choosing wisely and the thinking involved as a skill, which
as with many other skills, can be improved with the guided practice
and supporting tools provided here. The journey however starts with
awareness that comes from outing the 'secret forces that can
sabotage the quality of our decisions.
